What race class are we?
Okay, let's say I want to head out to the drag strip and run my partially modified Vette. In the old days, you ran stock or modified and they put you in a class, ie. "D-gas" or "F-Stock" depending on your weight to advertised horsepower or weight to cubic inches. That was back in the past. How do they classify you now? Do you have to get a licence? Do I need a roll bar in my convertible? Help me go racing :auto: :steering:

You nead to ask the track you are going too.
If you goto fast then you will nead a Roll Bar tracks are different there too.

For SCCA C4s are A-Stock as long as you haven't modified anything outside of class rules. Actually.... I wonder if they are now B-Stock since I think a new class was created when the Z06 came out.

Hey Mr Jay,
I think we're headed for the track at Lancaster, SC. My son's auto mechanics professor races a Nova there. I also think they race 1/8 mile :skep: That's not enough distance to shift! (stock gears)
